My First Artpad Drawing

[Garkudion]

Well, it seemed like an awesome concept ( the artpad, I mean)..dispite having to utilize my crappy eleven year old "rolling ball" mouse ><. It's crappy, so no critique. xD This is not a real piece of artwork..and it's my first time doing this anyway.

But I felt like I'd share since some other people were. So here you go!

Here's a second ( A random request )

I'll totally do some for people! Just request ^^

Wow, you are really good. Especially from using artpad for the first time!  

[Garkudion]

Really? Hey thanks ^^. I wish I had a better mouse though ><. I had to "Undo" a billion times xD.  

[Ignaicio]

Aww.. i wanted to see... But my comp ish being stupid and the thing wont load... gonk ah wells...  

[PinkGhost]

Oh wow..that's completely amazing, whether or not that was your first try.

You really have a grasp of the artpad technique. ;D Artpad is meant to be sketchy.
Just a note, not a critique ;D Most people start out painting the entire canvas white (or some other background color of your choice) at 100% opacity, just like you do in traditional painting. It really helps when you use your background color to erase, since artpad doesn't have an eraser function. But you don't have to if you don't want to.

Anyways, these are really good. By the way, in the second piece, is that girl in a shell? ...Is that a girl? I'm guessing it is...Sorry, I couldn't really tell... sweatdrop

It's a friend of mine, haha. He's a bit on the feminine side, hence the soft colors and features. He's also in blue armor with blue robes underneath.

And what a great idea O.O! I am a traditional artist, and I am used to the technique..but it never occured to me to use it with artpad. XD. Thanks! I'm so addicted to it now, though @_@. So you'll see a lot more stuff. Hopefully I'll geta better mouse for Christmas so I can create better images.

hey that looks good i always have to use my mouse and man does that look bad when i do that. GREAT JOB! biggrin  

[DarkNeko86]

Amazing for your first time using an art pad I imagine. I've never used one, but it looks kind of difficult.

There is definite room for improvement, but I can see that you have the potential and ability to do so, just from the first to the second link.

You are doing great, and good job! Keep it up.

You might want to go over the sketchiness with some bolder lines to make it more fluid. That's what's really sticking out to me about that commission. Believe me, it'll make it look a LOT better.  

[Garkudion]

Thanks you guys, for the comments..though I'm not really looking for critique on the pictures. Flingy-doodles randomly done with my mouse are not something I would ever put in my gallery, because honestly I wasn't paying much attention to the correctness of the picture. I just wanted to test how how hard it was to master this Artpad thing. If these pictures were something I cared about, the'd be a billion times better XD And then I would be serious about critiques. Hopefully you guys don't think this is my gallery, hahaha.

[Shikyo Kumori]

[Garkudion]
